The Urban Community Arts Network (UCAN) has worked with UW Madison Community and Environmental Sociology Students on several research projects aimed at understanding and improving the state of Hip-Hop in Madison. The most recent project consisted of interviewing members of the Hip-Hop scene to understand how they perceive Madison Hip-Hop and what they would like to see happen in the future. Students conducted 32 interviews over six months with DJs, rappers, producers, dancers, promoters, etc., all over Madison to gather general themes felt throughout the community.
